Heroes who save the world are usually exhausted.

Exterminating the remnants of the Demon King's army, defending the royal capital, making the rounds to greet the nobility... A hero's work is more mundane than one would think, and it never ends.

That is why there is one peculiar position within the royal palace.

　 ————— The Hero's Stress Reliever.

　 And for some reason, I was the one appointed to it.

❑ One hour before assignment...

　

"So, you're the new staff member."

An official handed over a document. Upon seeing the job title written there, a voice escaped involuntarily.

　 ———— Exclusive Stress Reliever to His Excellency the Hero ———— 　

"Um... what is this?"

"It means exactly what it says."

　 The official said flatly.

I was just an ordinary palace employee. A normal person doing paperwork, chores, and that sort of thing. And now, I'm with that hero?

　 "The Hero's mental state isn't doing very well, you see."

Before the mind could catch up, the official continued.

"You're in charge starting today."

"Wait, today?!"
